Since I've been falling down on the job, I thought I'd just post a bunch of links that are interesting/infuriating. I guess you could say this is a la Feministing's Weekly Feminist Reader. Except I focus not only on feminism but also on other issues. And you know, there's is probably better. Anyhoo...

A teacher was fired for being pregnant. Because it's a catholic school and she wasn't setting "a good example as a [c]hristian in her personal and academic life" by having premarital sex. Apparently the catholics are exempt from Title IX and other laws? I really hope this woman sues them hard. I wonder if they'd fire a man for fathering a child while unmarried. I doubt it.

I hope I'm not the last person to discover this delightful site. Is Obama the messiah? Many of his followers (the ones that hero-worship him without knowing anything about his actual platform) seem to think so.
